Arecibo Observatory has produced a new short (~18 minute) video detailing the history of the observatory, how experiments are conducted and ideas for the future. The AO management has kindly allowed us to make the video available on our website, now posted at: http://seti.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/arecibo_2012.mp4

Note this is a big file (~200 MB) and won't stream - you'll have to download the whole thing to watch.

Here is another fun Arecibo video clip shot shortly after the Gregorian upgrade, featuring the venerable Jim Cordes giving Alan Alda a tour of the dish and Father of Berkeley SETI Stu Bowyer showing off one of the early incarnations of SERENDIP. http://traveler.vmi.edu/800k/pbs_saf045_800k.mp4 Arecibo stuff starts at ~35:20.
